How does this work for commission based jobs? Or project jobs? Let's say I get £500 for translating something. No hours involved. Or if you get paid to wear a t-shirt with a company's logo for 2 weeks.

As far as I know the commission divided by hours worked on the translation must be over 7.50. So if it takes you 100 hours for the translation you would be under minimum wage and entitled to £750.

However as an employee commission based jobs are not really the norm. You usually get paid by the hour or a salary as an employee. Contractors / outside companies get paid a flat fee.

A sales representative might get paid in commission but then it would also be based on hours worked and if it comes under the minimum wage you need to be bumped up to at least that amount.

Depends what your working arrangement is. If you're self employed there's no requirement.
